SSON’s 16th Annual Shared Services for Finance & Accounting Summit once again proved to be the must attend conference for those who are working in – or are currently building – finance and accounting shared services organizations (FSSOs).

With all shared services programs, reducing costs and increasing productivity is of course top of mind. However, doing so is not a simple task---especially in the F&A space considering the sensitive nature of the financial transactions being processed. How an FSSO’s program is launched, established, managed, and developed for future growth directly impacts an organization’s financial integrity and health.

However, for the 120+ attendees who attended this year’s conference, they walked away with valuable insight that will enable them to be successful along their FSSO journey. Our four sold out workshops, two full days of case studies and panels, process innovation intensives for a deep dive into processes like P2P and O2C, and our service provider demo drives ensured that attendees walked away with information overload.

Don’t take our word for it, read what our conference attendees had to say about their experience:
